COIN-CONTROLLED AND CHANGE-MAKING T'URNSTILE APIARATUS.

. Application filed January 11, 1924. Serial No. 685,581.

This invention relates to a coin-controlled and change-making turnstile apparatus.

The ob ect oi the lnvention 1s to provide an apparatus which can be installed at the such an instance is hereinafter described as Operation No. 1.

In other instances the custom is for the passenger to pay when passing out of the car, and the operation of the apparatus in this instance is hereinafter described as Operation No. 2.

In still other instances the passenger is obliged to pay when entering the car and when passing out of the car, and in such a case the operation of the apparatus is hereinafter described as Operation No. 3.

The apparatus of this invention may also be set so that the turnstile can be rotated to allow the patron to pass in, or to pass out, without paying anything and the operation of the apparatus to secure this result is hereinafter described as Operation No, t.

The apparatus is also capable of ejecting a coin which is not of predetermined diameter and thickness, or any spurious coin, or so-called slug, which is not of predetermined thickness and diameter, and the manner in which this is accomplished by the apparatus of this invention is hereinafter described as Operation No. 5,

The apparatus ot this invention is capable of operation for any of these diilerent conditions, and to these ends the apparatus may be set to operate as iollows:-

Operation N0. 1.

Assuming that the apparatus is to be used on a railway car, or'in a railway station, or at the entrance to a theateryconcert hall,,or the like. and that it is desired that the patron shall pay before he enters the station or other place set forth, and that he shall pay a certain amount oft fare or entrance fee, the apparatus of this invention is so constructed and can be so set that the patron, as he enters, passes through a passageway, upon one side of which is preferably arranged a rail, and on the opposite side of the passageway the apparatus of this invention is located.

The apparatus embodies therein a rotary member provided with a plurality of radially extending arms constituting a turnstile and when the apparatus is in its normal position, one of these arms extends trans versely of the passageway to prevent the patron from passing through unless he first deposits a coin in the apparatus.

The particular embodiment of my invention hereinafter described and claimed is adapted to be used where the fare is ten cents. After the ten cents is deposited in a slot provided in the apparatus and the patron then moves forward, he pushes the arm oil" the t-urnst-ile which extends across the passageway and rotates the rotary member by said arm, through an angle of 90. This allows him to pass through the pars sageway, and another arm of the turnstilc will extend across the passageway as before. It the patron does not push the arm. of the turnstile through the entire 90, the apparatus operates to continue the movement of the turnstile until the arm has passed. through. an angle of 90, it he moves it at least 45. Ii? the patron, instead of inserting the exact tare, ten cents in this particular instance, should inserta twenty-live cent'coin, the operation would be the same as hereinbeiore set forth, but in addition thereto, the apparatus would deliver to the patron change of fifteen cents. lit the patron inserts fifty cents in the apparatus, then he will be enabled -to pass through the passageway and receive in change forty cents.

The apparatus is so constructed that the rotary inen'iber can be moved through an angle than. 45 without a coin being in sorted in the slot, but in such an instance, the arms of the turi'istile of this invention would turn through an angle substantially less than 45 and this would prevent the patron from passing through the passageway. Then, upon releasing the t-urnstile, the rotary member and the arms of the turnlit lllti stile would be automatically returned to their initial positions. The same would be true, if the patron inserted in the slot a coin, whether spurious or not, which did not measure a predetermined diameter and thickness.

In this particular embodiment of my 1nvention, the diameter and thickness of the coin, or other article inserted in the slot, must be of the diameter and thickness of a ten cent piece, a twenty-five cent piece or a fifty cent piece, in order for the turnstile to be operated to allow the passenger to pass through. Anything, other, than an article of such dimensions, would not enable the patron to rotate the turnstile so that he could pass through the passageway, and would be returned by the rotation of the rotary, memher to an angle less than as aforesaid, to thepatron. Under these circumstances, upon releasing the arinof the turnstile, after the article has been returned to the patron, the rotarymeinber andthe arms of the turnstile will be automatically returned to their initialpositions.

After having paid his fare and his change having been returnedto him, in the manner hereinbefore set forth, and the patron has passed into the car, station, or other place where the apparatus is installed, he can,

when the apparatus is set for this particular operation, return through the passageway and rotate the turnstile in the opposite direction'with'out depositing any coin.

Operation N 0. 2.

In operation No. 2 the apparatus is set so that the patron canpass outwardly through the passageway upon depositing a coin in the coin slot of a predetermined thickness and diameter, and can pass inwardly without deposit of any coin.

Operation N 0. 3.

The apparatus is provided with a manually operable mechanism which can be changed so as to set the machine to operate ness and diameter, in order to be able to rotate the turnstile and pass outwardly through the passageway. In this operation of the apparatus, change is returned to the patron, as hereinbcfore described in Operation No. 1? and the turnstile is rendered non-rotatable to an'extent sufli'cient to allow the patron to pass inwardly or outwardly, when acoin, spurious or otherwise, which is not of a predetermined diameter or thickness is inserted in the coin slot, and such coin is returned to the patron as hercinbefore set forth in Operation No. 1.

Opera/ion 1V0.

that it may be operated in this manner.

Operation N0. 5.

'Under any of the conditions hcreinbefcre set forth in operations Nos. 1, 2 and 3, if the patron deposits in the coin slot of the apparatus,.a coin which is not of a predetermined diameter or thickness, or both, then the turnstile cannot be operated to allow the patron to pass through the passageway, but the coin will be ejected from the apparatus and the turnstile will not be unlocked to allow the patron to pass through. This will be true of any article which dillcrs in diameter or thickness from the diameter and thickness of the coin intended. to be used in the apparatus. In this particular embodiment of my invention, therefore, any coin which differs in thickness or diameter from a ten cent piece, a twenty-five cent piece or a fifty cent piece, when inserted in the coin slot of the apparatus will not render the apparatus operable to rotate the turnstile and allow the patron to pass through.

The invention consists in a coin controlled and change-making turnstile apparatus embodying mechanism whereby the foregoing operations may be performed and in the combination and arrangement of parts disclosed in the following specification and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Operation [l 0. 1.

The apparatus of this inyentionwill first he described when the mechanism. set to operate in the manner hcreinhei'ore set :torth in Operation No. 1, where the patron is allowed to pass through the passageway to enter the car, station, or other place by do positing a coin of predetermined th ckness and'dianieter, but not otherwise, and is allowed to pass outwardly through the passageway without depositing a coin.

In the drawings, Figures 1 and 2, 30 is the coilrcontrolled and change-making turnstilc apparatus. 31 is the side rail and 32 the passageway between the appa 'atus and the side rail. 33 is a semicircular table which is positioned horizontally at approximately the same height as the side rail 31 and which is provided with pockets 3d and 35 constituting receptacles for the change which is returned to the patron by the ap iacratus. 36 is a casing which contains a plrn'ality of tubes for the change which is to be returned to the patron and this casing is supported upon a top plate 37 which is fastened to the ll lfdllle 38 oi? the apparatus. The frame 38 terminates at the lower end thereof in a cylindrical portion 39 which :lits into a corresponding opening 40 in the top member ll ot a hollow hase lhe base 42 is provided with annular flanges 43 fast to the lower end thereof and fastened to the support, upon which the apparatus stands. by screws'or l'lOllS 4:, see Figs. 2 and. 18.

he 'lran'ie 38 has rotary lllOlIllJQl is mounted on the cylindrical portion 39 ot said frame. This rotary n'ieinher rests upon the upper end ot' the top ineinher il-l of the base and aro'ects n )wardl into a casin .1 r:

37 shown in dotted lines .in Fig. 2 and is prevented from moving upwardly by a houlder l? on the :traine 355. The cas r 37 is "fastened to the top plate 3i". The rotary nienibm: e5 cmistit-utes the operating neon]- her of the apparatus and has 'tfastened there to tour arrns d8, said arms and the rotary n'ieinher constituting aturnstile. The arms. as seen in Fig. 2, consists of a rectangular portion 4.9 which connected by an angle portion 56 to a flange 51 on the lower end or the rotary i'nznnher i5 and by these arms a rotary motion is imparted to the rotary nieniher.

The rotary member-(i5 and the arms t8 are kept. in a normal positon, as ill. s"?ated. in

1 and 2. with one at the arms extendi zcross the aassageway 32 by a gear which is fastened to the ill e 5i. and and 5, fasnieshcs into a pinion 58, Figs. 3 toned to the lower end ot a vertical shait 54L which is rotatahly nuiiunted in the frame 38, and has fastened to its upper end a crank till loo

plate 55, having .a crank pin 56 thereon. The crank pin 56 is connected-by a spring 57 to a hooked end 58 of a bracket 59 which isfastened to the frame of the machine. As the rotary member is rotated, the gear 52 will'rotate the pinion 53 and through the shaft 54, the crank plate 55 and the crank pin 56 will be rotated, .thus increasing the tension on the spring 57, which will always bring the crank plate 55 and its pin 56 to the position illustrated in Fig. 3, and through the pinion 53 and gear 52, the rotary member and the turnstile as a whole will be thus brought back to normal position, or forward to a similar normal posi tion, with another arm extending across the passageway, according to the angle through which the turnstile isrotated by the patron, as will be hereinafter more fully described.

The turnstile is prevented from being rotated through an angle over 45, except when a coin of predetermined diameter and thickness is deposited in the coin slot, by a series of stops 60 fast to the upper end of a cylindrical cam 61, the cam 61 being fastened to the gear 52 and thus is fastened to the rotary member 45.

Vhen the turnstile is operated by the patron without inserting a coin in a coin slot 62, provided in the upper end of the frame 38, the rotary member 45 will be free to move with the gear 52, and the cam 61, until one of the stops 60 engages a stop slide 63, Fig. 3, which is slidably mounted on the frame 38. WVhen one of the stops 60 thus engages the stop slide 63 no further movement can be imparted to the rotary member by the arms 48 of the turnstile, in the direction of the arrow a, Figure 1, or in a clockwise. direction, this being the direction in which it is 'assumed that the passenger is moving through the passage 32 in the present op eration of the apparatus.

lVhen the patron releases the turnstile, the rotary member will be carried back to. its initial position by the spring 57, crank pin 56, crank plate 55, shaft 54, pinion 53 and gear 52.

Assuming now that the patron inserts in the slot 62, a twenty-five cent piece, the coin will enter the slot and rest upon the upper end of a vertically movable auxiliary I slide 64, as illustrated in dotted lines, Fig.

lever 74, see Figs. 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24,

27, 28, 30, 31 and 32. 'Now upon rotation of the turnstile, the rotary member 45, forming a part thereof, will be rotated, together with the gear 52 and cam 61 and this cam has a cam path 67 provided therein, in which is positioned a cam roll 68 rotatably mounted upon a cam stud 69 fast to a cam slide 70. which is mounted to slide vertically in, ways 71 on the frame of the machine. The slide has a slot 72 on the front face thereof and extending transversely thcreacross, into which a stud 73 projects, said stud being rigidly fastened to a primary lever 7 4. The primary lever 74 is mounted to rock upon a pivot 75 in the lower bifurcated end of a support 76. The support 76 is yicldingly mounted upon the frame by means of a shank 77 extending upwardly from the support 76 and slid-ably mounted in the frame 38, see Fig. 27. The shank 77 extends above the frame and is encircled by a spring 78, the upper end of which bears against a nut 79 on the upper end of the shank 77, and the lower end of which bears against the frame 38, the spring 78 tending to hold the support 76 upwardly when the parts are in their normal positions. The primary lever 74 is provided with a slot 80 in one end thereof, into which projects a stud 81 which is fast to the primary slide 65.

Referring now to Fig. 3 it will be. seen that. the primary slide 65 has a pin 82 projecting therefrom and into a slot c3 provided in one end of a lock lever 84, which is pivoted at 85 to the frame of the machine, and has in its outer end a spring-actuated latch 86 which, when the parts are in the positions illustrated in Fig. 33, engages a bevelled pin 87 which is fastened to the stop slide 63, so that when the cam slide 70 actuates the primary lever 74 to move it downwardly, the primary slide 65 will be moved downwardly; the lock lever 84 will be moved downwardly at its left hand end Fig. 3 and upwardly at its right hand end, and the latch 86 will engage the pin 87 and move the stop slide 63 upwardly out of the path of the stops 60, so that the rotary member can be rotated to complete its quarter turn. As soon as the stop lever 84 has been rocked to a suilicient extent so that the latch 86 will become disengaged from the pin 87, the stop slide 63 will drop into the path of the next stop 60 on the rotary member. The lowermost position of the slide 65 and the uppermost position of the cam slide 70 will be reached when the cam roll 68 arrives at the portion 88 of the cam path 67, Fig. The next movement of the cam slide 70 will be upwardly, thus moving the lever 74, slide 65 and stop lever 84 to the relative positions illustrated in Fig. 3, the spring-actuated latch 86 being moved backwardly while passing the pin 87 by the bevelled outer end thereof. In order that during the operation of the turnstilc described, the coin may be fed into the machine and the change or fifteen cents given to the operator, the following described mechanism is operated.

The auxiliary slide and the primary slide Inn are both operated and the auxiliary slide or is moved downwardly by an auxiliary lever 89 which is located adjacent to the primary lever 7 .11, and in the. rear thereof, as viewed in Fig. 27, but in front of said lever as viewed from the front of the machine. The auxiliary lever 89 ispivotcd to a stud fast to the frame of the machine and has a slot in the left hand end. thereof, Fig. 2'7, into which a stud 91, which is fastened to the primary lever 7 1, projects. The opposite end of the auxiliary lever 89 has a stud 92 projecting thereinto which is fastened to the auxiliary slide (a, see Fig. 28.

it will. thus be seen that the primary lever 74 is operated as hereinhefore described and rocksupon its pivot 7 5 and will rock the auxiliary lever 89 upon its pivot 90 in the same direction and to substantially the same extent as illustrated in dotted lines, Fig. 27, whereby the right. hand end of the priinary lever 7e and the auxiliary lever 89 would be carried downwardly from the posi tion shown in full lines, Fig. 27, to the position shown in dotted lines therein, and this will cause not only the primary slide 05 to move downwardly, but will also cause the auxiliary slide Gl to move downwardly.

t will be understood that the twenty-five cent coin during the operation hcreinbefore described, was first placed in the coin slot 02. and assumed the position illustrated in Fig. 19, resting on top of the auxiliary slide 64:. When in this position the coin is n'ieasured both as to diameter and thickness. To measure the thickness of the coin a plurality of detecter lingers 93, 9 1 and are provided. The finger 93, Figs. 1.9, 23 and 27, is the deteeter finger for dimes and quarters. The detector finger 94: is :forquarters and halves, and the detecter finger 95 is for halves. These fingers are all suhstanti ally duplicates and are positioned in recesses 93, 9a and 95 in the primary slide 05.

When a ten cent piece positioned in the coin slot (32, the detecter finger 93 will contact therewith during the operation of the rotary member. lVhen a twenty-five cent piece is located in the slot the lingers 93 and 9 1; will contact therewith during the operation of the machine, and when a fifty cent piece is located in the slot 02, all three of the dctecter .fii'ig'ers will contact therewith during the operation of the machine.

In the present instance a. twenty-five cent piece having been inserted in the slot 02, two of the fingers 9S and 941 will contact therewith during the operation of them chine. At first when the twenty-five cent piece inserted in the slot 62, the fingers 93 and 9 1, both of which are sul'ista-ntial duplicates, will be locked relatively thereto, as illustrated in Fig. 19, that is, the upper end of each. of said lingers has a flat projection 90 thereon which projects into aslot 97 in the primary slide 65, but does not project into the slot 02.

The fingers 93, 94: and 95 are substantial duplicates of each other and operate in substantially the same manner and therefore, the description of the linger 93 will apply equally well to the other fingers 9d and 95. The said lingers 93, 9 1 and 95 are pivoted upon a pin 98 fast to the primary slide 65. The lower end of each of the fingers has a projection 99 thereon which, when the parts are in the relative positions illust'ated in Fig. 19, and both of the slides 62 and 6 1 are in their uppermost positions, will bear against a plate 102 which is rigidly fastened to and forms a part of the frame of the ma chine and will be held thercagainst by a spring 100. A. plate 101 has the hardened steel plate 102 set therein, and this hardened steel plate has a recess 103 and a recess 10-l therein extending thereacross, the recess 103 being of greater depth than the recess 10 1, and thus between the recess 103 and recess 104 there is a shoulder 105 formed.

In addition to the detector fingers 93, 91 and 95 which contact with the face of the coins, as hereinbefore described, and measure the thickness thereof, there is a detecter slide 106 which measures the diameter of the coin which is inserted in the coin slot. This slide is illustrated in Figs. 23, 24 and 25. This slide as illustrated in Fig. 2-1 is drawn back to its extreme backward position. In said figure, the twenty-five cent coin 107 is shown in position. The detector slide 100 has a pin 108 fast thereto which projects into a slot 109 in the upper end of an arm 110 forming a portion of a lever 111. The lever 111 is pivoted at 112 to the primary slide 05. The said lever 111 has two laterally extending {11.1118 113 and 1141 at the lower end thereof. ()ne of these arms has a contact pin 1.15 fast thereto. The other of said arms 118 is rounded at its outer end and projects he neatli a stationary pin 110 which is also rounded on its lower end and is fastened to the frame 89 of the machine. The rounded end of the arm 119 projects into a. correspondingly shaped recess 117 in the face of a plate 118. which loosely suspended on a pin 119 fast to the pin 110. A spring; 120 encircles the shank of a screw 121, which is fastened to the pin 116 and projects through a hole formed in the plate 118. The shank of the screw 121 and the pin 119 are both of smaller diameter than the holes in the plate 118, through which they project, so that said llll lot)

plate is to a certain extent loosely mounted upon the pin 116 and therefore upon the frame 38 of the machine, and constitutes a detent.

Uponv the first part of the downward movement of the primary slide 65, the lever 111 will he rocked upon its pivot 112 by reason of the end of the arm 113 being lodged in the recess 117 and a slight, downward movement of the slide will therefore eausethe lever 111 to be rocked so as to move the arm and the slide 106 in the direction of the arrow 5, Fig. 24, until the forward end of said slide contacts with the edge of the coin107 and holds it-firmly against the inner wall 122 of the frame 38. hen in this i 1 position a V-shaped tooth 123, which projects from the, rear face of the slide 106, will be in vertical alignment with a V-shaped recess 124 which is provided in a stationary plate 125, fast to the plate 101, which forms in effect a portion of the frame of the machine.

When the parts are in this position, the primary slide 65 can move downwardly to the full extent of its downward movement, as hereinbefore described, and as it so moves the projection 99 on the lever '93 will move toward the left, 'Fig. 19, part way into the recess 103, and upon still further downward movement, will travel along in the recess 104 until the parts arrive as illustrated in Fig. 21, thus allowing the projection 96 on the lever 93 to contact with one face of the twenty-five cent coin.

The same operation is performed by the lever 94 which also contacts with the twentyfive cent coin 107, and thus the levers 93 and 94 will be carried past the recess 103 without being moved by their respective springs, so as to bring the lowerends thereof to the extreme depth of said recess and thus allow them to engage the shoulder 105 on the plate 102. If thi should happen, it will be seen that-the further downward movement of the primary slide would be stopped.

The lever 95 is prevented from having its lower end forced into the recess 103 by reason of is respective projection 96 contacting at this time with the rear face of the detector slide 106, see particularly Figs. 23 and 24. ,The primary slide is, therefore, free to move downwardly and the auxiliary slide 64 will move with it, said slides being actuated, as, hereinbefore described, by their re spective levers 74 and 89. \Vhen the slides 64 and 65 are thus being moved downwardly the V-shaped tooth on the detector slide 106 will pass through the V-shiapcd recess 124 in the stationary plate 125, and after the slides have been moved downwardly to a sufficient extent, that is, to some extent below the relative positions illustrated in Fig. 21,.t-he coin 107 will be brought opposite an opening 126 and this will allow the detecter fingers 93' and 94 to be forcedby their respective springs toward the right, Fig. 21, and push the coin 107 through said opening 126, whence it will move downwardly throughthe hollow interior 127 of the frame 38 and into a coin receptacle 128, which is located in the base 42.

During the downward movement of the primary slide and auxiliary slide hereinbefore described, as the coin considered is a twenty-five cent coin, the patron must rcccive back in change fifteen cents and this is accomplished by the mechanism now about to be described.

A laterally extending arm 129 on the dctccter slide 106 engages av lever 130 which is fastened to a rock shaft 131, pirotally mounted at its opposite ends in the side walls of the casing 36. The rock shaft 131 has a vertically extending lever 132 fast thereto, which, at its upper end, is connected by a pin 133 to a bracket 134 fast to and projecting downwardly from a coin feed slide 135. This coin feed slide passes heneath two tubes 136 and 187. The tube 136 contains a column of dimes. The tube 137 contains a. column of niclrels. The coin slide has two circular openings 13S and 139 extending therethrough, the opening 138 bcin normally in alignment with the column of dimes, and the opening 139 being normally in alignment with the column of nickels. Beneath the slide 135 and extend ing beneath the two columns of dimes and nickels is a stationary plate 140. The slide 135 is provided with a slot 141 through which projects a stationary pin 142 fast to the frame of the machine.

A retaining finger 143 is pivoted at 144 to the frame of the machine and is held by a spring 145 normally in the position illustrated in Fig. 33. The object of this retaining finger is to hold back any coin which tends to be fed out of the column of coins in addition to the lowermost coin in said column of coins, that is, it is to prevent two coins from being fed from one column at the same time. This is accomplished by the lower end of the finger 143 engaging the uppermost of the two coins, so that the lowermost coin can be fed out from under the column of coins and from its respective chute 136 or 137 and drops into a chute 146 which is fast to a rock shaft 147 pivoted at its opposite ends at the front and r ar walls of the casing 36.

The rock shaft 147 has a handle 14S fast thereto, so that the chute may be manually positioned, as illustrated in Fig. 3, and the change which is deposited therein, as hereinbeforc described, will roll out of said chute and into a stationary chute H9 and rolling down the chute 14.9, the change for the patron will be deposited in the poche 55 from which he may secure it as he passes along the passageway 32.

The change having been delivered, a continued movement of the rotary member, by means of one of the arms 48 in a clockwise direction, will bring the succeeding arm into the position originally occupied by the first arm, or if the patron does not push the turnstile sufliciently to accomplish this resuit the spring 57, crank plate 56, crank plate 55, shaft 1, pinion 53 and gear 52 will accomplish this result.

During the latter part of the inoven'ient oil the rotary-member 4:5 in a clockwise direction, the auxiliary and primary slides 64: and 65 will be moved upwardly to their priitnary positions, or to the positions illustrated in Fig. 19 and as these slides move upwardly, the rounded end of the arm 113 of the lever 111 will engage the underside of the pin 116 and the lever 111 will be tipped so as to move the upper end 01" the arm 1.1001 the slide 106 in the opposite direction to the arrow Z) and into its primary position, as illustrated in Fig. 24;, the detector slide 106 thus having been moved inwardly by the primary slide 65 until the ii-shaped tooth 123 on the rear side thereof: has passed through the V-shaped recess 12 st and above the plate 125. During this upward move lnent, also, of the primary and auxiliary slides, the detecter fingers 98, 94 and 95 *ill be returned to the respective positions illustratedby the detector linger 93 in F 19 and the machine is then ready -lor another patron to pass along, the passage into the ear, or other place, and to repeat the operation hereinbetore described.

Assuming that a patron inserts a fifty cent piece in the slot 62, instead of a twenty- ;tive cent piece, the operation of the parts hereinbetore described for feeding the coin thus deposited into the receptacle 12S and for delivering to the patron the change, which would in that case be torty cents, is in all respects very similar to the operation oi the mechanism lmreinhetmre described in relation to the operation where a twenty-tive cent coin has been inserted in the coin slot. In such an instance, however, all three ot the detector lingers 93, 941 and 95 will bear against the taco ot the fifty cent piece during the downward motion of the slides it and 3.3 and all three o'l. said lingers will be prevented, by said fit' y cent piece, from having their lower ones 99 project into the toll depth of the recess 103, all as hereinbetore set torth in relation to the fingers 93 and 94.

The detector slide will be operated in the smile manner as hcreinbetore described, errcept that it will. not move so :lar to the right inv Fig. 24; as when a. twenty-five cent piece was located in the coin slot and tl'lerctore the ll-shaped projection on the hack otthe slide 106 will be brought into alignn'ieut with another V-shaped recess in the stationary plate 125. Then the slides are in position to continue their downward movement and the lilty cent coin will be ejected from the coin slot by all three of the lingers 93, 9e and 95 and will pass through the opening 126 and downwardly into the coin receptacle 128, as hercinheiore described in relation to the twentydive cont coin.

At the same time during this operation, change 0t forty cents must be delivered to the patron and tl 's is accoinplis ed by the arm. 129 on the slide 106 engaging a lever 151 which. is fastened to a reel; shaft 152, pivotally mounted at its opposite ends in the sides ot the casing S6, The rock shaft 152 has a lever 153 last thereto and extends vertically upward therelroin. Ithe vertical end of the lever 153 is connected by a pin 15% to a bracket 155 East to a coin slide 156 which is operated by this mechanism, substantially in the same manner as the coin slide 135 was operated to feed change tor a tweutydire cent coin. The slide 156 projects beneath. three coin tubes 157, 158 and 159 containing TCSpOClIlVBly columns of twenty-live cert coins, live cent coins and ten cent coins. The slide 156 has three circular orifices thcrcin instead of two, as shown and described in relation to the slide 135. A twentydive cent coin, a live cent coin and a ten cent coin are therefore ted troin their.respective tubes into the inclined chute 1416 and roll down said chute into the chute 1e and "from thence into the receptacle 35, thus returning to the patron the change for liitty cents.

ihflfillllllllg that the patron inserts a ten cent coin in the coin slot, in this case no change would be returned to him, as ten cents assumed to be the full amount of the tare charged. lhe ten cent coin having: been placed in the coin slot (32, the dctcctc finger-93 only will contact with the lace thereof during the downward movement of the slides (ii; and 65 and the detector 106 will he brought forward to en edge oi the ten cent piece :rndliohl it a the wall 122 ot the frame, as hercinhc described in relation to the tow. live cut piece and vy cent piece. in thr the ten cent piece being; 'sn'iallcr than the twentylive cent piece, the slide 1015 will be rowel over further toward the right, his". ill, and will cover the ends oi the projecting; flat plates 96 on the fingers ill and Ti lie i shaped projecticm 123 will be broue'ht tlurther toward the right in this case than in the ease ol' the titty centcoin and twei five cent coin mm will be brought into alignment with the f-shaped recess 160 in the plate 125, see Fig. .23. T1

7 us inoven ieut of the detector slide accomplished through the inecl'ianisn'i hcreinbeliore described, and especially by means oi the lever 111.

The remainder of the operation of -arry- "lug the coin domrwardly, ejecting; the same into the receptacle 128 and returning: the parts to their ial positions, is the same as hercinhetore described in re ation to the operation of aid lnechanisniis when a twent live cent coin or titty cent coin is being handled, except that no mechanism for de livering change is operated, in View of the fact that the detecter slide 106 moves further toward the right, Figs. 23 and 2st, than in 106 to be moved downwardly to operate their (ill respective coin slides to deliver the change. Each of these levers bears at its outer end upon a lever 161 which is pivoted at 162 to a bracket 163 fast to the underside of the top plate 37 and is held in its normal position, as in Fig. 25, by a spring 16 1. Another lever 165 is pivoted upon a stud 166 fast to the lever 161, so that it can swing horizontally, the lever 161 swinging in a ver tical direction. The rear end of the lever 165 is connected by a spring 167 to a hooked arm 168 fast to the rear end of the lever 161. The forward end of the lever 165 is made oval in cross section, as illustrated in Fig. 26, and when the levers are in their normal positions, as illustrated in Fig. 25, this oval end of the lever 165 is located above the bevelled upper end 167 of a rack 168 which is fast to and forms a part of a bracket 169'fastened at its upper end to the plate 37. Now as either one of the levers 130 or 151 is tippedf with its pivot to actuate the change-making mechanism, as hereinbefore described, the lever 161-will be tipped upon itspivot 162 so as to move downwardly at the right hand end thereof and this will carry with it the lever 165. The oval end of the lever 165 will thus engage the teeth on the rack 168 until it passes below the lowermost tooth of the rack, and then upon the return movement of the lever 161, the oval outer end of the lever 165 will engage the bevel lower end of the rack and pass upwardly as illustrated by the dotted position of said lever 165 in Fig. 26 on the rear edge of the rack 168.

lVhen arriving adjacent to the upper end of the rack 168., the outer end of the lever 165 will engage the bevelled lower end 170 of a spring-actuated plate 171 which is supported upon a screw 172 fast to the bracket 169 and having a spring 173 bearing thereagainst and encircling the screw 172, so that as the end of the arm 165 passes upwardly into engagement with the bevelled lower end 170 of the plate 171, thesaid plate will be moved toward the left, Fig. 26, until the outer end of the lever 165 passes above the upper. end of the rack 168, whereupon the spring 173 will force the outer end of the lever 165 over into its initial position, as shown in full lines, Fig. 26, and the levers 161,165 are then in their initial positions as illustrated in Fig. 25. This return up- 'ard movement of the levers 161 and 165 will rock the lever 130, or the lever 151, as the case may be, back to their original positions and through the mechanism hereinbefore described for making change, the respective slides and the levers 136 and 151 will be returned to their initial positions to receive a new set of coins, with which to supply change.

It will be understood that the lovers 161 and 165 and rack 168 insure the extreme downward movement of the lever 130 or 151 to actuate the change-making slides before said levers and slides can be returned to their initial positions by the spring-actuated lever 161.

The operation of the apparatus, as the patron passes outwardly along the passage way 32 and in the opposite direction to the arrow a, will now be explained.

In Operation NO. 1 now under consideration, the patron pays going in, but does not pay going out, in other words, the patron pays when the rotary member is rotated in a clockwise direction and does not pay when the rotary member is rotated anti-clockwise. As no coin is inserted in the coin slot by the patron, provision must be made for something to take the place of the ten cent piece, twenty-five cent piece or fifty cent piece, or else the primary slide will be locked against downward movement by the detector lingers 93, 94- and 95 and by the detector slide 106, in which case the lock lever 64.- would not be operated to raise the stop slide 63 and therefore, one of the stops 60 on the rotary member would engage the stop slide 63 upon the rotation of the rotary member by one of the arms 18, and the patron could not pass through the passageway and outwardly therefrom. This condition of affairs is taken care of by the mechanism which is now about to be described.

Referring to Figures 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 18, 35 and 36, 17 1 and 175 are two step rods which constitute respectively a left stop rod and a right stop rod, that being their respective locations, as viewed from the front of the apparatus. These rods are supported in a bracket 176 fast to the frame of the machine. The stop rod 17 1; has an arm 177 extending radially therefrom at its upper end. The rod 175 has an arm 178 extending radially therefrom at its upper end. These rods may be moved longitudinally thereof and rotated by means of the arms 177 and 178 respectively and said rods may be locked in position by the arms 177 and 178 projecting into vertical slots 179 and 180 for the rod 17 1 and 181 and 182 for the rod 175. The vertical slots 179 and 180 are formed in a segmental flange 183 fast to the bracket 176. The slots 181 and 182 are vertical slots formed in a segmental flange 181-. These tween its ends.

In Operation No. 1 the rods 17 1 and 175 are positioned with their respective notches 1.86 and 188 respectively in the relative positions illustrated in Fig. 7 and the notches 185 and 187 in the relative positions illustrated in Fig. 8. Between the tion thereof. A spring 194 is interposed be tween the upper end of the lever 189 and the rear edge of the lever 191. A coin replacement slide 195 is connected by a pivot 196 to the upper end of the lever 191 and projccts therefrom through a hole 197 in the frame 38. The hole197 opens into and e):- tends transversely of the coin slot 62 and in alignment with thefiat projection 96 on the dime detecter linger 93, so that when the lever 189 is rocked in a direction to move the slide 195 toward the left, Fig. 18, said slide will project into the coin slot 62 and take the place of a dime to prevent the dimedetecter linger 93 from being rocked from the position illustrated in Fig. 19 to the position illustrated in Fig. 20. On the lower end of the lever 189 a cam block 198 is pivotally mounted on a vertically extending screw 199 and causes said cam block to be pivotally mounted to swing in a horizontal plane on the bottom of the lever 189. Theinner rounded end of the cam block 198 is positioned to be engaged by any one of eight dill'erent cam projections 200 on four segmental cam rings 291, which are fastened to the upper end of the cam 61.

Referring to Fig. 5, it will be seen that as the rotary member is rotated in a counter clockwise direction, one of the cam projections 200 will engage the rounded inner end of the cam block 198. At this time the cam block is in the position illustrated in Fig. 5 and rests against the stop rod 175, so that the cam block cannot be rocked upon its pivot 199 and as the stop rod 175. cannot move laterally toward the right, Fig. 5, it follows that the cam block 198 will-be pushed outwardly and racially with respect to the rotary member. T his will rock the lever 189 upon its pivot, moving the lower end of said lever out-weirdly and the upper end of said liver inwardly, so that referring to Fig. 18, the slide 195 will be moved by the lever189 and the lever 191 mounted thereon toward the left, Fig. 18, and will project into and across the coin slot 162 in alignment with the flat projection 96 011 the upper end of the dimedetecter linger 93. The slide 195 constitutes a coin replacing means.

At the same time that the detector linger; 93 for the dime coin has been prevented from entering the coin slot (32, as just described, the flat plateson the upper ends of the detector lingers 9 1 and for the twentyfive cent coin and fifty cent coin respectively will be held in the same position as the deteeter finger 93 shown in Fig. 19 by the slide 106 which will be pushed toward the right, Figs. 23 and 24-, by the lever 111 in a manner hereinbefore described, until the forward end of the slide 106 abuts against the slide 195. This will prevent the upper ends of the detect-er lingers 9 1 and 95 from entering the coin slot 62 and will prevent the lower ends thereof from entering the recess 103 to the depth thereof. In other words, the slide 65 can be moved downwardly by the rotation of the rotary member, without such downward movement being interfered with by the lower ends of the detector fingers 98, 94; and 95, or any of them engaging the shoulder in the plate 102.

It will be understood that when the for ward end of the slide 106 abuts against the slide 195, as just described, the V-shaped projeetion 1.23 on the back of said slide, see Fi 23, will be in alignment with the V-shaped recess 160 and therefore this V-shaped projection and the slide 196 will not prevent the primary slide 65 from moving downwardly. Therefore, the primary slide (35 is free to move dmvnwardly as the rotary member 15 is rotated in an anti-clockwise direction by the patron in passing out of the passageway 62, and. since this is the case, the slide 65 will operate the lock lever 84.- to raise the stop slide 63 out of the path of the stops 60 and thus the turnstile can be rotated a quarter turn in an anti-clockwise direction without any coin being inserted in the coin slot, and the parts will be returned to their primary positions.

Counter mechanism.

lVhenthe turnstile is operated to turn. in a clockwise direction by the patron, as he enters the passageway in Operation No. 1, as has been heretofore described, a coin is deposited by the pation in the coin slot and inorder to register each ten cent fare which has been deposited in the apparatus, as here inbefore described, a counter mechanism 292 of well-known construction is provided and. this counter mechanism is operated by an arm 203 thereon which is recited by a pin 204 on a bracket 205 which is fastened to and forms a part of an arm 206. The arnr296 is fastened to a vertical shaft 207, rotatably ner rounded end of the cam block 210, while moving in a counterclockwise direction, it will be evident by reference to Fig. 8, that the cam block 210 will swing toward the right, being allowed so to do by the notch 187 at the bottom of the stop rod and theretore, t h e arm 208 will not be moved to operate the. counter mechanism through the shaft 207, arm 206, bracket 205, pin 20 1 and arm 203.

When, however, the rotary member is movedby one of the arms of the turnstile in a clockwise direction during Operation N0 1, by the patron entering the car or other place, through the passageway 32, one

., of t e cam projections 211 will engage the rounded inner end of the cam block 210, see Fig. 8, and as the stop rod 174 will prevent the cam block 210 from rocking on its pivot 2 09 it follows that the cam block will be pushed outwardly and radially from the rotary member and this willmove the arm 208 outwardlyand will rock the vertical shaft 207-, thus rocking the arm 206, bracket 20f and arm 203 to operate the. counter mechanism to indicate one fare of 'ten' cents.

It will be understoodthat during the operation'hereinbefore described, of the two cam blocks198 and .210, that each of these cam blocks is heldnormally in the respective positions illustrated in Figs. 7 and 8, the cam block 198 being held in the position illustrated in Fig. 7 normally by a spring 212,

the lower. end of which projects into the front end of the cam block, the upper end of which is fastened to the lever 189. The cam block 210 is held in its normal position as illustrated in 8, by a spring 213, one end of which is attached to the forward end of the cam block and the other end of which is fastened to a bracket. 214 on the arm 208.

Operation 1V 0. 2. In this operation the patron. pays when going out, but does not pay when passing in. The relative positions of the stop rods 174. and 175 un'derthese conditions are as illus-, tra'ted in Figs. 9, 10 and 11, that is, the stop rod 175 is in the same position as in Figs.

12, 13 and 1 1', but the stop rod 17etis set by moving the arm 177 fromthe slot 179 over into the slot and thus changing the position of the stop rod 174, particularly as illustrated in Figs. 10 and 11.

The chute 146 is tipped by means of the handle 1&8 to the position illustrated in dotted lines, Fig. 3, so that the change will be delivered to the chute 1 19, thence to the pocket 3 1.

Now it will be necessary lor the patron to pay going out, but not when coining in, and the counter will be operated when the patron goes out, but not when he comes in, on account of the fact, as will be seen by reference to Fig. l0, that when the rotary member is moved in a cloclnvisc direction, the cam block 198 cannot be rookcd, as hcrt inbetore described, on its pivot 199. Therefore the lever 189 will be operated to more the slide 195 into the coin slot and take the place of a coin, so that as hereinlielore dcscribed, the turi'istile can be rotated in a clockwise direction and at the same time it will be noted by reference to Fig. 11 that the cam block 210 can rock upon its pivot into the notch in the stop rod 171, and therefore, the counter will not be operated to count a fare when the patron is passing in.

hcn the patron passes out, however, the reverse condition of ali'airs applies. The cam block 198 can be rocked upon its pivot 199 and therefore the lever 189 will not be operated to move the slide to take the place of a coin in the coin slot. hcrciiire, a coin must be inserted in the coin slot in order to enable the slide (35' to move downwardly and operate the lever 84; and stop (3 as hereinbefore described, to allow the rotary member to be rotated.

Also, by reference to Fig. ll it will be seen that when the passenger is passing out and the rotary member is being rotated anti-clockwise, the cam block 210 cannot rock upon its pivot 209 because it will be engaged by the stop rod 175. Therefore the arm 2H8 will be pushed outwardly, and through the mechanism hereinbcl ore described will be operated to indicate a fare.

Operation No. i).

In this operation, as heroinbetore set forth, the apparatus is set so that the patron is obliged to pay when coming in and also when going out.

In order to set the machine for this op eration the stop rod 174; is left in the position illustrated in Fig. (3, but the stop rod 175 is placed in the position illustrated in Fig. 12 by raising the rod 175 until the arm 178 is drawn out oi the slot 181 and then giving the rod a partial rotation to bring the arm 178 into alignment with the slot. 182 and then moving the stop rod 175 downwardly until the arm 178 enters the slot 182 and locks the stop rod 175 in position.

The stop rods 174- and. 175 are now in the relative positions illustrated in Figs. 12. ii;

and 11 and the operation of the nnn-hanism throughout, is the same as in Operation No. 1, except that the counter, on account of the position of the notches 185 and 187 loo in the rods 174; and 175, as illustrated. in.

i Fig. 14, will operate when the rotary Incinher is rotated in a clockwise direction and also when. it is rotated in an anti-clockwise direction, lJQ-CEL'HSQ the cam block 210 cannot rock upon its pivot 209 and therefore, the arm 208 will be operated as hereinhetore descrihed to actuate the counter inechanisin, hoth when the patron is moving inwardly and rotating the rotary member in a clocle wise direction, and also when, he is movjii'lg outwardly and rotating the rotary ineinher in an anthcloclrwise direction.

it will he seen by reference to :3 that the stop rod 1.74- is positioned the same as nth jg. 'i', but that the stop rod 175 positioned so that when. the rotary member moving in an anti-clockwise direction the earn block 198 will herocked into the notch 183 in the rod 175 and therefore, the lever 189 will not. he rocked to move the slide 195 into the coin slot 62. lhereliore, if the patron neglectsto place a coin in the slot (52, the coin detector linger 93 will he rocked so that the tint projection 96 thereon will project into the coin slot, and the lower end ot the coin detector tinger 93 will project into the recess 103 and engage the shoulder M15, preventing the primary slide 65 from moving downwardly and thus preventing theloch lever 84 from lifting the stop slide 3 out of the path of the stops 60, so that the turnstile could not be rotated to allow the patron to pass outwardly without inserting the coin.

Operation N0. 4. lo this operation the apparatus is set so that the turnstile may be operated clockwise or anti-clockwise without the patron de positing a fare, and this is accomplished by the stop rods 17 i and 175, (is illustrated in Figs. 15, 16 and 17, with the arms 177 and 178 positioned in the slots 180 and lily reference to Figure 16, it will be seen that the cam block 198 cannot be rocked upon its pivot in either direction, on account ol said earn oloclt engaging the rods lid and 175 and on account ot the notches 186 and 1S8 being out of alignn'icnt with the cam block 198. Tllheretore, the cam block 198 will he moved outwardly and. the lever 189 will he rocked to position the slide 195 with its end projecting into the coin slot, to take the place of a coin,-and the slide 65 can, there fore, he inoved downwardly to operate the loch lever Set and stop slide (33 to move the stop slide out of the path oil. the stops 60.

lly reference to Fig. 17 it will also he seen that the counter is not operated under these conditions because the camhlock .5310 can rock in ei "r direction into the notch 185 in the rod l'i-t, orinto the notch lei in the 2- rod 175, themt'ore no motion will he imparted to the arm 208, nor to the mechanism connected tl'lOll'GWltli, whereby the counter is 0perated, therefore no fare would he registered under these conditions.

Operation 1V0. 5.-U02'n ejecting ino/ onig In this case the patron inserts a coin in the coin slot, which is not of predetermined diameter and thickness, namely, in this particular embodiment oil. my invention, a coin other than a ten cent piece, a twenty-live cent piece, or a titty cent piece, or the patron in ts in the coin slot at spurious coin, or what known as a slug, which. is not oi? the same diameter and thickness as a ten cent piece, a twenty-live cent piece or a titty cent piece. In either of which instances the apparatus of this invention opera to eject the coin. or slug and also operates to prevent the patron from rotating the turnstile so as to enter, or as to pass out oi the car, station, or in whatever place the apparatus may he installed.

The mechanism wl'rcrehy this result attaincd will now he descriheafl,

in each of the operations Nos. 1, 2, 3 and l, hcreinlieiore described, the two slides 35 and 64; move together as one piece, that is, the 'Jriinary lever 74: and the auxiliary lever 89 move together the same distance and thus their respective slides and 64.- move together as one piece, but where a coinother than a coin of predetermined Cllll'lGllSlOTlS, such as,adi1ne,twenty-live cent piece or litty cent piece, is inserted in the coin slot, the two slides first ll'lOVQ together as one piece, downwardly and then they move independently oil? each other and in opposite directions.

Assuming then that a coin which is not ot' the din'iensions aforesaid is placed in the coin slot and tl at the coin is thinner and of less diameter than a twenty-live cent piece, the rotary member is rotated by one ot the arms 48 oi": the turnstile in aclocltwise direction. This will cause the primary slide and the auxiliary slide 641; to, move down "ardly from the positionillustrated in, Fig. 27 to the position illustrati-zd in Fig.3, 30, the movement of the two slides and o'lv the levers Y4; and 89 being accomplished hy n'icans oi the earn slide and cam 61, as hereinl'ie'fore descriltled. its the coin in the coin chute is thinner than a twenty-live cent piece, the coin detccter fingers 93 and 94 will move from the position illustrated in Fig. 19 to a position approximating that shown in Fl 20, that is, the lower ends oitthe dc teete fingers 93 and 94: will project into the rcee 103 and will erug" so the shoulder 105. This will stop the downward movement ot the primary slide (35L Also, since the coin which has been inserted in the coin slot is of less diameter than a twenty-live cent piece and is not ot the same diameter is a titty cent
